@jthingelstad Very nice! 👏

Not related to the main topic but this morning I wanted to post a TV spoiler to my blog and I thought (not for the first time) that I wish there was some easy way to do that on micro.blog. I was going to drop a feature request on you but then I read your post about Jamie Thingelstad and said to myself, "Github Gist! That's sorted!"

I supposed I'd prefer there was a native way to do it on micro.blog but for now Gist is fine.

For a native solution, maybe create a page and link to the page from a blog post? I think that would work. And if the page doesn't appear on the home page it wouldn't clutter up the website.

Thanks!

@MitchW I requested this some years back, and found out that some flavours of markdown support it, but it didn’t seem to be very requested.

@odd I think creating a page and linking to it from a blog post would work. I don’t think it would clutter up the website. 

Support for Reddit spoiler syntax would be another option 

I think a page would also work for super long posts that you don’t want to have dominating the home page. I have a 2500 word essay that I’ve been putting off posting for that reason in part. 

I’m curious what thinks.

@MitchW @odd I think having a separate standalone page that you link to is a good solution. I do that sometimes, though usually if the page feels kind of disconnected with any dated blog post.

will the markdown parser accept HTML? aka the details widget.

@chrisd Yes! That should work well in blog posts. (Although the details element isn’t supported for short posts viewed in the timeline.)

right that makes sense

Just realizing that I never replied to this post and I wanted to. I think the two sentences that followed that are also worth quoting. 😊

It works great, and it is the lowest friction way for me to "just write." I've been delighted with it.

Thanks for creating micro.blog and the vision you have had behind it. I’m happy to have my blog hosted here. 🙌

@jthingelstad Thank you!
